If I may chime in with my 2 cents. I have been following Datafusion and its
development over the last couple of months and I think Datafusion is a really
unique project in the DMBS space and fits the "Future is extensible" vision
greatly. I think especially in the RND world (industrial and academic),
Datafusion makes research easier and more interesting, since you're starting
from a already-present foundation and extending it/modifying it as you need. I
think that Datafusion could probably benefit greatly from more academic
collaborations? I'd imagine that a lot of the performance optimisations, but
also other kinds of projects, would make a great Master thesis or research
paper in the DBMS world. Not sure how you can attract more people to this kinds
of projects, but it's just an idea I wanted to share.
I think though that Datafusion could benefit from more visibility and
presence. The sigmod conference and all the other conferences in which
Datafusion was presented were great to promote it among different audiences,
ranging from industry to academics and open source developers. It would be
great to see Datafusion in other conferences and journals as well (e.g. fosdem,
Foundations and Trends in Databases, etc). I think especially in Europe,
Datafusion is still not as well-known, and if more DBMS people were to know
about it, it would be beneficial to the future of the project.
It might also be interesting if projects on top of which Datafusion was
built could also present and explain how they used Datafusion to build their
project and the advantages were of using Datafusion.
